How to Store a Bedroom Set in Self-Storage?

If you're moving or redecorating and need to put your bedroom set in storage, there are a few things you need to do to ensure it stays in good condition. With some planning, you can rest easy knowing your furniture is safe and sound.

Here's what you need to do.

1. Choose a suitable storage unit.

When picking a storage unit, size is everything. You want to ensure you have enough space to store your furniture comfortably, with room to spare for boxes and other items. Also, consider climate control in an area with extreme temperatures. This will help protect your furniture from damage caused by heat, humidity, and fluctuations in temperature.

2. Clean your furniture before storing it.

This seems common sense, but ensuring all your furniture is clean before storing it is essential. Any dirt or grime on your table could further attract pests, damaging your furniture. Give everything a good dusting and vacuuming, and if possible, wash any upholstered pieces with a mild detergent.

3. Disassemble your bedroom set if possible.

This will make transporting your furniture to the storage unit more manageable and help protect delicate pieces from being damaged in transit. If you have the manual for your bedroom set, refer to it for instructions on disassembling everything correctly. If not, a quick Google search should turn up some helpful tutorials.

4. Wrap each piece of furniture individually.

Once everything is disassembled, it's time to wrap each piece individually in blankets or Furniture pads. This will help protect them from scratches and dents while they're being stored. If you have any particularly delicate parts, consider wrapping them in bubble wrap as well for an extra layer of protection.

5. Stack everything neatly in the storage unit.

Once everything is wrapped up tightly, start stacking everything neatly in the back of the storage unit, away from the door. That way, nothing will fall out and get damaged if anyone opens the door.

Storing a bedroom set can seem daunting, but it's pretty straightforward with some planning. Make sure you choose the correct size storage unit, clean everything before putting it away, disassemble when possible, wrap each piece individually, stack neatly, and label each box. And voila! Your bedroom set will be safely tucked away until you need it again.
